But at the same time we have to tie this event in an organic way to the resurgence of cultural life as a response to these terrorist activities, so that, at the end, 'life victorious' is what the message to the world is about, that democracy is invulnerable, New York is not just going to hide its head in the sand.

Ground zero with tattered small American flag flying in the foreground\u003cbr/\u003eThe former site of the World Trade Centre towers in New York, also known as Ground Zero, is a construction site.\u003cbr/\u003eFor all the wrangling and uncertainty over designs and plans for this most symbolic sixteen acres in lower Manhattan, much work is already done and much more is underway.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd despite continuing debate over the fate of the bedrock which constitute the footprints of the twin towers, new train tracks already cover part of the footprint of Tower 2.\u003cbr/\u003eIt is a construction site like no other.\u003cbr/\u003eEvery day tourists and passers-by stop by the towering fence and peer into the pit.\u003cbr/\u003eAs the second anniversary of the attacks approaches, a small group of victims' family members and 9/11 survivors are mounting a final attempt to have the footprints of the towers preserved all the way down to the bedrock -- an idea that was considered but has been ruled out in the current plans for the redesign of the site.\u003cbr/\u003eThis group has mounted two small protests at the site in recent days, and they plan another on September 10.\u003cbr/\u003eCalling themselves the \"Coalition of 9/11 Families\", they are appealing for an additional acre to be added to the current plans for a 4.7 acre memorial. \u003cbr/\u003eThe total size of the redevelopment site is 16 acres.  \u003cbr/\u003eAs the group spoke to reporters, construction equipment at ground zero was already in the process of laying down new commuter train tracks over a section of 2 World Trade Centre.\u003cbr/\u003eThe person most responsible for managing this mass of plans and problems is architect Daniel Libeskind, winner of the design competition for the master redesign plan of the site.  He will not design each individual building, but his vision will guide the process.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen his plan for rebuilding the World Trade Centre won an international contest in February, Libeskind became the public face of the world's most emotionally delicate real estate project.\u003cbr/\u003eHis scheme preserves much of the lost trade centre's foundations and invokes the date of American independence with a tower that would rise 1,776 feet (539 metres).  And Libeskind, a dynamo in designer glasses, seemed the perfect salesman for a challenging work of architecture.\u003cbr/\u003eSince then, a tug of war with trade centre developer Larry Silverstein threatened to push Libeskind into a secondary role.  Politicians, business people and victims' relatives promoted their agendas, and it seemed unlikely at times that the plan by Libeskind's Berlin-based office would be realised in any recognizable form.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Libeskind has fought for his vision and, so far at least, has managed to keep it largely intact.\u003cbr/\u003eLibeskind says his plan encompasses input from all the factions, and that he met with family members on numerous occasions to hear their views.  Ultimately, he says, his plan is a balancing act.\u003cbr/\u003eBorn in Lodz, Poland, to parents who had survived the Holocaust, Libeskind studied music as a child.  The family emigrated to Israel and then to the United States.\u003cbr/\u003eWhen he unveiled his design in December 2002, Libeskind spoke of arriving in New York as a teenage immigrant and seeing the skyline.  His zeal for repairing that skyline - scarred by an unthinkable attack on September 11, 2001 - has not waned.\u003cbr/\u003eThe selection process and the politics that have ensued have been convoluted.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the bistate agency that owns the trade centre site, and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the city-state agency created to redevelop it, have shepherded the process along.  But competition among all the factions -- including New York's governor, Mayor, the families, and the developer who holds the lease to the site -- has been intense.  \u003cbr/\u003eDeveloper Larry Silverstein signed a 99-year lease on the twin towers just weeks before they were destroyed -- he called for 10 (m) million square feet (900,000 square metres) of office space to replace what was lost.\u003cbr/\u003eLibeskind housed the office space in a collection of jagged modern buildings offset by a pit where the foundation, or slurry walls - the only part of the trade centre that remained - would be preserved. Those walls were for Libeskind a metaphor for democracy unbowed by terrorism.\u003cbr/\u003eLike its creator, the design combined intellectual rigor with unabashed patriotism.  The tallest building, the Freedom Tower, mirrored the Statue of Liberty across the harbor.\u003cbr/\u003eDeveloper Silverstein has sent mixed messages about Libeskind's design, praising the architect but grumbling that tenants would reject a view of the pit.  Accounts of strife surfaced regularly.\u003cbr/\u003eIn July, Silverstein hired an architect who had lost to Libeskind in the design competition -- David Childs -- to develop the all-important 1776-foot Freedom Tower.  Silverstein, Libeskind and Childs staged a photo-op at ground zero to show that everyone was happy and working together, but the image of Silverstein and Childs towering over Libeskind sent its own message.\u003cbr/\u003eBut six months after his selection, the balance of power appears to have shifted back towards Libeskind.\u003cbr/\u003eRedevelopment officials rejected Silverstein's idea of moving the Freedom Tower from the site's northwest corner. Libeskind signed a three (m) million dollar contract with the development corporation and Port Authority as master planner for the 16-acre (6.4-hectare) site.\u003cbr/\u003eAfter lengthy negotiations, Childs and Libeskind promised to collaborate on the Freedom Tower. And Libeskind praised the Port Authority's selection of Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava to design the transit hub linking city subways to commuter lines.\u003cbr/\u003eOfficials say it was never intended that Libeskind would execute detailed designs of all the buildings himself.  But experts say Libeskind's influence will be felt even as other architects sign on to design specific pieces.\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile work at ground zero continues, and the pit that was filled with rubble just two years ago is daily filled with more and more new construction.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
